What are the symptoms of a ventricular septal defect?
Small holes in the ventricular septumusually produce no symptoms but are often recognized by the child's health care provider when a loudheart murmur along the left side of the lowerbreast bone or sternum is heard. Large holes typically produce symptoms 1-6 months after an infant's birth. The left ventricle begins to fail, producing the following symptoms:
When a ventricular septal defect is not detected early in life, it can cause more severe problems and more severe symptoms as time goes on. The biggest concern is development of high pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). If the ventricular septal defect is not surgically closed, irreversible pulmonary hypertension can develop, and the child is no longer operable and has a poor prognosis. The following are typical symptoms of pulmonary hypertension:
The skin turns faintly bluish when the tissues are not receiving quite enough oxygen. This condition is often termed "hypoxemia" or "hypoxia."
Who discovered ventricular septal defect?
The condition is first suspected based on observation of the child. The physician will listen to the heart with a stethoscope
Are females more likely to have birth defects?
Actually, males have more birth defects that females. World wide, per 1 female that has a birth defect, 150 males have either died or are suffering from a birth defect.
Why do some people have small heads compared to the rest of their body?
peope have small heads (pea heads) becuase there mum and dad have sex and make them who may also have a small head so two small heads shoul make 1 normal size head but in some sycumstances this may not be true as two people who have ig heads thier child should have extremely big heads but that is not always the case these are called bomb heads.
Which virus can cause birth defects in unborn children or even miscarriage?
The Zika virus is known to cause birth defects in unborn children, particularly microcephaly, as well as other neurological issues. Infection during pregnancy can also lead to miscarriage. Other viruses, such as rubella and cytomegalovirus (CMV), can similarly result in serious complications for the fetus. Vaccination and preventive measures are crucial to reduce the risk of these infections during pregnancy.
Will Hydroxycut cause birth defects?
i think so yes, but for a better answer you should ask your docter at your next visit. hope that helped

What is the incidence of atrial septal defect?
Atrial septal defects (ASDs for short) are caused by a defect in the development of the wall between the two upper chambers (the atria) of the heart.
During the development of the fetus, the heart begins as a single hollow tube that must fold, twist, and otherwise contort itself into the four-chambered heart seen at birth. In early fetal life, the first attempt at this produces a heart with two chambers: an upper atrium and a lower ventricle. These two chambers are then partitioned by adding a wall in the middle of each; thus two chambers become four chambers. The wall that separates the two atria is called the atrial septum, while the wall that separates the two ventricles is called the ventricular septum.
In normal development, the atrial septum begins with a few holes in it. These holes are important for the normal circulatory system of the fetus. During development, however, tissue must grow over these holes in order to sustain life outside of the mother's womb. If the two holes are not completely covered over, then there is a defect in the wall separating the atria -- an atrial septal defect.
The precise causes for atrial septal defects are not known, although they have probably often have to do with defective communication between cells that form the septum. Some septal defects tend to run in families and have known associations with genetic irregularities such as Down syndrome.
What are the most common birth defects in premature babies?
It is tough to say which are the two main ones.. There are random birth defects as well as those that are caused by something the mother and even father did before birth. In other words, something that happened during the pregnancy. Remember that the first few weeks are extremely important, and often that is the time where the woman does not even know if she is pregnant yet. A heart is beating by the time she finds out!
Obviously, alcohol and smoking anything can have adverse affects such as fetal alcohol syndrome. Any use of other drugs legal and illegal can obviously have a big impact. But our society and media, bought by the large pharmaceutical companies, keeps most women in the dark about how steroids (aka "birth control") also cause countless birth defects in the first few weeks of pregnancy - especially to male babies in utero..
: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7333 : This is the reason that prostate cancer rates have skyrocketed since the pill arrived in 1960. A deformed prostate is not visible at birth, but can still cause prostate cancer in men decades later. these are the fact the the big pharmaceutical companies are desperate to keep women from knowing. They also don't want you to know about the decimated and deformed male fish populations downstream of water treatment plants due to even microscopic amounts of female steroids. : So, steroids like the pill, patches, IUD, and ring can give you breast cancer and your male child prostate cancer - even if you get off them as soon as you know you're pregnant. The sad fact is, it is often too late. The damage has already been done. : http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/112/1/73
A huge second source of birth defects are all the premature births needlessly caused because of a woman's previous abortion:
http://www.jpands.org/vol8no2/rooney.pdf
And, naturally, children born to early due his or her mother's compromised cervix and/or damaged uterus suffer from any number of birth defects as a result - the most common apparently being cerebral palsy.
These are the facts that big pharma and planned parenthood are doing their level best to keep everyone in the dark about, since these facts would not be good for their profits.
If a birth defect were said to be cause by a teratogen it was caused by what?
Thalidomide, used for nausea, is a potent teratogen. It stops the growth of limb buds in developing embryos and other fetal anomalies if the mother takes the drug during the first trimester. See the link for a list of anomalies that can be expected.
Is it safe to use anti nausea drugs during pregnancy?
No not really. If your doctor put you on it he will probably monitor you closely. Doctors don't even really like for you take take over the counter drugs. Ant-anxiety drugs could slow the heart rate of your baby and could possibly transfer to the child and have unknown adverse affects on the baby. I know if you have anxiety not taking the meds seems frightening but let your baby be your inspiration to be happy and try your best to relax and anything in your life you don't need to deal with....don't even if it is family. Think about yourself and your baby. Good Luck to you
Yes, some deformed people are real. There are at least 1,827 ways people can come out deformed, but listing them all would be too long. Some examples are genetic defect, folic acid deficiency, and chromosomal abnormalities.
Can taking fioricet during pregnancy cause birth defects?
No, if you need anything stronger than Tylenol (used once in awhile and not regularly) you need to speak to your doctor.
What is a claw hand deformity?
Claw hands are a series of deformities that are the result of nerve injuries in the arm, particularly the ulnar, median and radial nerves. As a result of injury to any of the nerves a clawing of the specific fingers the nerve innervates in addition to sensory deficits in those areas. The deformities result as a result of unopposed positioning of the fingers. For example if the flexors are denervated the resultant positioning would be one that is extended because the extensors are now unopposed due to the lack of flexors.
For simplicity we observe the lumbrical muscles which are intrinsic muslces in the hand that flex the fingers at the metacarpal joints (MCP) and extend the fingers at both the distal and proximal interphalalingeal joints (DIP & PIP).
The ulnar nerve innervates the 4th and 5th lumbricals. Thus a denervation of the ulnar nerve would result in clawing in those fingers. specifically, the MCP joints of the 4th and 5th fingers would be extended and the DIP & PIP joints of the 4th and 5th would be flexed, resulting in the ulnar claw hand.
The median nerve innervates the 2nd and 3rd lumbricals. Thus the same results are observed only with the 2nd and 3rd fingers. In addition, the median also innervates a thumb muscle that is responsible for its opposable motion. Thus denervation of the median nerve may also result in the thumb loosing this ability and will instead fall into a flat plane with the other fingers and resemble that of an ape. thus the name ape's hand/claw.
The term klumpke's clawing refers to the denervation of all lumbricals in addition to the loss of radial nerve innervation. Thus in klumpke's clawing, all the fingers are extended at the MCP joint and flexed at the DIP and PIP leading to clawing of all fingers (similar to the gesture of tiger clawing motion).

Is being a sociopath due to having a birth defect?
Sociopathy is increasingly perceived, by mental health research professionals, to have a strong genetic component. In the frontal lobe association area which functions to process emotional tone, deficits have been repeatedly seen on PET scans and other tests.
So, yes, it is quite possible that sociopathy could result from a brith defect (in the form of a DNA coding defect which leads to brain development problems).
The problems would be similar to a mother smoking marijuana during pregnancy.
Can fingering cause birth problems?
No.nails my rip the tissue in there but other than that no just be a little more gentle
There are a couple of genetic mutations which can, but do not always, cause autism, such as Fragile-X syndrome. This can be detected via amniocentesis, but a medical professional would probably not recommend it unless family history indicated risk factors, since the procedure has its own set of risks.
What is the process of taking nutrients into the body and making them part of the body?
The process of digestion is how the body absorbs nutrients from food.
Low intake of which vitamin contributes to birth defects?
The most common one is Folic acid or folate which is a B vitamin. It is also referred to as vitamin B₉.
